Wallbrook announces opening of Los Angeles Office
Office to be led by former federal cybercrimes prosecutor and investigator Wendy Wu.
Wallbrook, the global investigations and risk advisory firm, is proud to announce the opening of its Los Angeles office, augmenting its West Coast presence and existing support of local leading technology companies, corporations, and law firms with an array of investigations, human rights impact assessments, ESG advisory and enhanced due diligence offerings. The office will be led by former federal prosecutor and cybercrime expert Wendy Wu, who recently served as principal at Pacific Intelligence & Cyber and as a senior managing director at Stroz Friedberg, now Aon Cyber Solutions.
“We are delighted to welcome Wendy to our team,” said Ian Barclay, a managing partner of Wallbrook in London. “Many of us have had the pleasure of working alongside Wendy and have witnessed firsthand the depth of her cyber expertise and investigative and diligence capabilities. The expansion of our presence to the West Coast is a testament to the increasing demand for quality, ethical investigative services across our broad range of offerings.”
Wendy joins Wallbrook two years after co-founding a consulting firm, Pacific Intelligence & Cyber. Wendy is a former federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, where she served in the Cyber and Intellectual Property Crimes Section. Wendy previously worked with the Wallbrook team at Stroz Friedberg, where she led the US West Region Practice. She began her legal career at Proskauer Rose, as a member of the White Collar Defense & Investigations Group.
“Wendy is an elite, polished, and incredibly gifted practitioner,” said cybersecurity veteran James Aquilina, who serves as Co-Chair of Wallbrook’s Advisory Board. “Her unique blend of legal, investigative and cyber know-how will well serve Wallbrook as it accelerates expansion of its ethical approach to organizations across the West Coast.”
“I am thrilled to be joining the Wallbrook team,” said Wendy. “By virtue of its B-Corp certification and global reach, Wallbrook clearly is a modern investigations firm uniquely positioned to satisfy clients’ growing demands for cross-border, ethical investigations. I look forward to partnering with my colleagues and bringing to market best-in-class services across our broad range of offerings.”
